Modern Animal is reimagining the veterinary experience—for pets, their humans, and the medical teams who care for them. With thoughtfully designed clinics, a membership-based model, and modern software, we’re creating a new standard of care. Our ecosystem includes a member app for booking, messaging, and telemedicine; an EMR platform that reduces documentation burden; and pricing and membership strategies that align incentives while raising the bar for medical quality.
We’re looking for a Principal Product Manager to shape the future of our platform and clinics. This role is for someone who thrives on solving complex problems through first-principles thinking, and who enjoys both strategy and hands-on customer discovery. Over time, it could evolve into a GM-style leadership role.

- Must genuinely love pets and the veterinary profession.
- Define vision and roadmap for key domains (scheduling, EMR, operations, membership, pricing).
- Conduct field research; uncover clinic and member needs; translate into product opportunities.
- Deliver measurable impact (e.g., appointment availability, retention, throughput, documentation time).
- Lead cross-functional teams to launch products with strong adoption and operational fit.
- Use data and metrics to guide prioritization and track outcomes.
- Partner across engineering, design, operations, and business leadership.
- Potentially expand into GM-style ownership of a business unit.

At Modern Animal, you’ll combine product strategy, hands-on discovery, and operational leadership in service of an inspiring mission: improving the lives of animals and the people who love them. Your work will directly impact veterinarians, pet parents, and pets themselves.
